How do you squat with tight Achilles?
And also to get even more of an intense stretch is to hold a way to bar above your head. Look forward and squat with the weight on the ball of the foot. And you balance that bar.
What exercises should I avoid with Achilles tendonitis?
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons says these can trigger achilles tendonitis:
- Rapidly increasing your running mileage or speed.
- Adding hill running or stair climbing to your training routine.
- Starting up too quickly after a layoff from exercise.
